No ugly babies…just about 86 little 6-7year old kids in the room with me right now
Let me just start out by saying I have spent about an hour and a half getting caught up on blog reading and I absolutely loved hearing about whats been going on lately. Kris, I cant believe the crazy events that happen in your life. 20 dead camels on the side of the road? That’s the freakest thing Ive ever heard. Ryan actually told me about the storey first. He has to be your biggest blog fan. The day you post, I get a recap at dinner about it.
Life has been good. You probably notice I don’t say much about it because I don’t want to bore you with Samford 5th year poo. This week I finish up teaching at this K-3rd school, and after SB I will be at Pizitz Middle. This weekend I take the Praxis Test which is the final test I take to get my Teachers License.
I cant tell if Im cut out to work with these type of young kiddies. I make mistakes constantly everyday which hopefully wont scar kids for life. The other day someone tattled on someone else for holding up their middle finger. Without thinking I pulled the kid over and said, “dude, don’t flip birds at people.” Immediately the kid was like, “What’s flipping a bird?”. So I explained…so hopefully the 7 year old went home and told his parents what he learned in PE today.
Also, there is this girl that I swear looks like Barb ORear. I never met Barb but Im guessing she acts like her too. There is a bathroom right outside the gym, and one time I heard her in there screaming bloody murder because there was not toilet paper. On Mondays we do this thing where I play music and kids run around the gym for their warm-up. This past Monday, I played that country song “Life is A Highway” and Barb came up, got right in my face and sang the whole song. I made it a point to not make eye contact but she still kept going. She wears this annoying pink headband and whenever we do running activities, she puts the stupid thing over her eyes and runs full force into things.
Anyway, you are probably wondering why I am writing during the middle of the day while I have kids in my presence. This week we are kicked out of the gym and cant use the outdoor facilities for some silly reason. Therefore, we are all crammed in the music room watching “Hey Author”. For me, that means sitting around all day on the internet. I think this phys ed job is making me fatter. Student teaching so far has been alright. There is a lot of stuff I see not so good about their pe program here but it is one of those things where I can tell once I get my own school and get to make up my own program, I will love what I do.

Is there any way that we can come and run while you play guittar also? That sounds like so much fun. I feel like Jamie was like Barb when she was little. I don't really know this but I have a huntch.
